Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had a mild cough, and he had been slightly feverish. Question: How should tonsillitis and throat pain in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
